I haven't exactly figured out the diff between DivX and Xvid, except that their names are each other spelt backwards, lmao. But say, my vid? In 640x480 for Xvid (with 128kbps audio), it's only 36mb. In 640x480 for DivX, (same audio) it's 124mb! Weird, huh? I think Xvid may be the teeniest bit blurrier, but it's not noticeable at all, really. I don't kno what the video settings are for them, becuz theyre all at default, and becuz its too agonizing to mess with them since they just reset everytime. Btw, Dvd Shrink just rips to VOBs. I think, anyway. I've never noticed any options. When I rip a whole movie, it always divides the VOBs at like, 150mb each. So I use something called DGIndex.exe to demux the video and audio all in one piece. Then TMPGEnc.exe usually to mux em back together into their mpg form. Theyre not wibbley in their original mpg form, go figure, LoL. I think it could be some copy-protection thing, that annoys the converting to avi... dunno. Heh. *checks* Still uploading... As for the ship? Um... lmao. Never even considered it, but now thinking of it makes me giggle :D

Yay, techyness ^^ Sorry for lateness in reply; ya know how much time flies when one is vidding.

it's only 36mb. In 640x480 for DivX, (same audio) it's 124mb!
Not so weird, really. I think it's all about compression. For instance, in my Broadcast Graphics class (college course; the main project was a mock-newscast) we created the file in After Effects. After rendering, it came out to be 2gb! (It was only a minute!). Taking that 2gb avi into Premiere and resaving makes the avi out to be 200. Our prof said it was because of After Effects exporting without any compression to the file. So what ya get is SUPER HIGH QUALITY at the expense of one's hard drive, o'course.

becuz its too agonizing to mess with them since they just reset everytime.
Hmmm...now that is really, really odd. If one sets their preferences and such, it should -stay- that way until one changes them. The program resetting itself is quite a mystery.

Never even considered it, but now thinking of it makes me giggle
I hope in a good way, at least ^^; Might have to drabble these damn ideas out... least if I want to get -any- sleep...

Time is always flying for me. I swear, it only slows down when I actually watch it. Lmao. IceAge is on FOX at the moment, so I'm happily distracted too :D And my next vid? I hope to get done tonite. I just HAVE to make at least one more xmas vid. So which holiday movie is begging for attention most... Ernest Saves Christmas! :D Well, its actually the only xmas movie I have, currently, even tho I been meaning to get my other faves, lmao! ...I think I meant the codec settings. Hehe. Techyness? LoL! And yay, ficlets! First: a gift (http://s37.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=21CQVG1NE5FGS1EB31SPHHQORH)! ^-^

Aye... time is a trickster, ain't it? Ya glance at it one moment, and the next time ya view it, an hour has passed. Time flies when you're arguing with ideas and -attempting- to organize them.

Ernest Saves X-Mas as a vid, eh? Iiiiinteresting. What song might ye be thinkin' of using?

*clickies gift happily* Yay for high-speed! Should have it in five minutes.

[simbiani82.livejournal.com]

Hee. No idea what song. Has to be one of my fave xmas ones but one that I won't get sick of. But then, I tend to get sick of even my favoritest of favorites when I tend to overplay them... lmao. To address some other things in previous comments: Yes, that opening scene is definitely chilling. Gah @ the tragedy. And especially in the second movie, when after all he has gone thru for her, she leaves him and tries to save herself. Gah! ...I did the first like, 1:20 of the vid around Oct, and up to 1:38 in Nov. When I went back to it just this week, that's when I finished the rest. Random tidbit: I obsess over every. single. frame. when editing my vids. That's 30 per second! (Well, 29.97, hee) ...I haven't seen "House" but that guy looks so much like the creepy dude from "MadTV", lmao.

[yunafire.livejournal.com]

Heh... I'm sorta the opposite with songs. Anytime I even acquire a new song, I tend to listen to it at least twenty times over the course of the day. I've no idea why... I just do.

when after all he has gone thru for her, she leaves him and tries to save herself.
She does?? I've watched most of the second movie recently, though not all of it (no worries about spoilage.. I've seen it many times over; revisiting for nostalgia sake). Now, that seems -completely- against her entire character. By the end, she's no longer Meela as, if I'm correct, she kills herself in revisiting her past and he then resurrects Anck-su-Namun (man, when I watched that scene a few days ago, I was entirely spell-bound...the score, emotion, editing, EVERYTHING just blew me away!) Why she'd abandon her love makes no sense to me...

Random tidbit: I obsess over every. single. frame. when editing my vids. That's 30 per second!
So feel ya on this one. I test my vids constantly; MM isn't very good for the in-program previews, so I save it to the highest quality, then watch it in the player. Many times; at the minimum of thrice. Everyhing has to look just RIGHT before I move on. The downside to this is that I become so used to seeing clips in certain areas that it's difficult to notice mistakes. *shrug*

I haven't seen "House" but that guy looks so much like the creepy dude from "MadTV", lmao.
They did a spoof on that... wasn't very good, though.

Courtesy of a community that dare not speak its name, I give you the {unaired} Pilot episode (http://unextendable.com/house/100%20-%20Unaired%20Pilot.mpeg) (right click-save as). The coloring for the first ep is very.... sun-kissed, I suppose you could say. It's only for this ep, though.

The difference between unaired Pilot and aired? Not much... just a cane-grabbing scene and a bit with the ducklings (the three experts working for Dr. House which was moved to the second ep).

A word of caution: The show is an illness, an infectious disease. The only cure is also the only symptom. ;)

I await your thoughts of the ep.

[simbiani82.livejournal.com]

Well, of course new songs get overplayed without question :D No opposite there, lmao. The only reason I mention possibilities of getting sick of them is precisely becuz my tendency to overplay, hee. Re: the end scene in M2: Yes, she does! At least that's the way it seems when I watched it. Rember, both Rick and Im are hanging on the ledge, and the place is collapsing; Evy goes to help Rick, and there's this big moment where A makes a choice whether to go save Im and she gets scared and doesn't... Im's face as she left is all gah!sadness and that's when he lets go, right after giving Rick a look like, how lucky Evy came back for him, risking her life (again)... Okay, now I need to re-watch that scene. Heh. *reloads dvd* Also, I'll give your "House" a chance, hehe, since you linked the first ep :D *dLs*

Oh, that ending is --so-- getting rewatched. If it's as you say, it's so fuckin' PERFECT for this idea I have. Ah...angst. So loved.

From a character standpoint, though... still makes me icky with the mere -idea- she'd leave him. Bad way for the secondary villain of the movie (though I never thought of him as such) to go out.

By the by, I must thank ye once more for the excellent rip. So perfect! A few tv-lines 'round the edges...but nothin' a lil soft focus couldn't fix.

Random trivia: Just for kicks, I imported the vid into After Effects then exported it out -- doing nothing to the vid -- just to see the file size. It was, and I'm not kidding, 6.72 GB. The vid was so laggy, though, I doubt I could've used it for editing purposes.

[simbiani82.livejournal.com]

I rewatched it and gah! at the sadness! He even pleads for her to help him and she just runs away! And then meets the same fate as Beni. Gah! ...Glad you like the rip! :D Anything I could do LoL... As for the epi, um, I watched it, it was okay... doesnt catch my interest really, my addiction (the tv area, hehe) leans more towards sappy adventure stuff (Smallville, vMars, Charmed, Lost, Surface, hee), altho it does seem pretty good. I'd rank it somewhere between CSi:Miami (which I like) and Cold Case (which is also good but I don't catch every epi). Fyi, I dont watch CSi/CSi:NY/etc but I do love ER, L&O:SVU, Boston Legal... etc etc. :D I noticed from your info, you also like XMen? I have a vid for Pyro if you're interested... LoL
